Default Background Focus, Foreground Blur

Hi,

I raised this on the flickr-group but it quickly moved away from the main page and thought it might get a few more responses here:

Essentially a type of shot I quite like is where the foreground is out of focus and something in the background is in focus. My idea being something like the foreground 'edges' of the shot are maybe some out of focus leaves, and the front is maybe of a pond/lake or something.

I find it quite easy to get the background out of focus but not the foreground. I wondered if there is a technique/setup i should be trying.

The camera I have is a Panasonic DMC-FZ7. I'm new to the whole photography world (I took a lot of photos this summer and have gotten out of practice recently), any help/advice would be great.
